Why I Left Greenpeace | 5 Minute Video
Patrick Moore explains why he helped to create Greenpeace, and why he decided to leave it. What began as a mission to improve the environment for the sake of humanity became a political movement in which humanity became the villain and hard science a non-issue.

Script:
In 1971 I helped found an environmental group in the basement of a Unitarian church in Vancouver, Canada. Fifteen years later, it had grown into an international powerhouse. We were making headlines every month. I was famous. And then I walked out the door.
The mission, once noble, had become corrupted -- political agendas and fear mongering trumped science and truth. Here's how it happened.
When I was studying for my PhD in ecology at the University of British Columbia, I joined a small activist group called the Don't Make a Wave Committee. It was the height of the Cold War; the Vietnam War was raging. I became radicalized by these realities and by the emerging consciousness of the environment.
The mission of the Don't Make a Wave Committee was to launch an ocean-going campaign against US hydrogen bomb testing in Alaska, a symbol of our opposition to nuclear war. As one of our early meetings was breaking up, someone said, "Peace," A reply came, "Why don't we make it a green peace," and a new movement was born.
Green was for the environment and peace was for the people. We named our boat "The Greenpeace" and I joined the 12-person crew for a voyage of protest.
We didn't stop that H-bomb test but it was the last hydrogen bomb the United States ever detonated. We had won a major victory.
In 1975, Greenpeace took a sharp turn away from our anti-nuclear efforts and set out to Save the Whales, sailing the high seas to confront Russian and Japanese whalers. The footage we shot -- young protesters positioned between harpoons and fleeing whales -- was shown on TV around the world. Public donations poured in. By the early 1980s we were campaigning against toxic waste, air pollution, trophy hunting, and the live capture of orca whales.
But I began to feel uncomfortable with the course my fellow directors were taking. I found myself the only one of six international directors with a formal science background. We were now tackling subjects that involved complex issues of toxicology, chemistry, and human health. You don't need a PhD in marine biology to know it's a good thing to save whales from extinction. But when you're analyzing which chemicals to ban, you need to know some science. And the first lesson of ecology is that we are all interconnected. Humans are part of nature, not separate from it. Many other species, disease agents and their carriers, for example, are our enemies and we have the moral obligation to protect human beings from these enemies. Biodiversity is not always our friend.
I had noticed something else. As we grew into an international organization with over $100 million a year coming in, a big change in attitude had occurred. The "peace" in Greenpeace had faded away. Only the "green" part seemed to matter now. Humans, to use Greenpeace language, had become "the enemies of the Earth." Putting an end to industrial growth and banning many useful technologies and chemicals became common themes of the movement. Science and logic no longer held sway. Sensationalism, misinformation, and fear were what we used to promote our campaigns.

keeping altered and unaltered separate is a good thing to do. isolated communities like groups in experiments is a relatively quick measure to prove points. mass experimentation. all we need is volunteers, time and coordination to organize such feats. if they argue to such extent as to martyr for it then they die by their own hands if it does indeed kill in the control environment needed to prove it or they live in triumph. sometimes the best action is the biggest sacrifice. let this be solved with democratic organization. peace and cooperation among all else. if advancement is from high effort then i just suggest an exemplification of it. sometimes being the "bad guy" isn't always the bad thing at least to the ones who understand why they do it.

That was taken from him. This video deserves waay more respect and attention that it has. The world needs more men like him. Humble, honest and most of all, logical following an understanding behind the two worlds logic and emotion. This alone is why we see the world as it is becoming. We're becoming more instinctual and our future is grim the less we rely on logic.

I recently finished my degree in Environmental Science, I have an affinity for the environment, but I ultimately believe organizations like Greenpeace are cheapening what that _actually_ means. They are supplementing radically populist ideas for realistic approaches to environmental protection, and their positions on technological advancements like GMO's and Nuclear Energy are perfect examples of their beliefs doing more harm to the environment than good. Not to mention, perpetuating the ideas of many who believe the environmental movement is merely for implementing unrelated political agendas by their support for many politicians who's priorities are placed in the pursuit of power rather than the actually "saftey" of others and the environment. Please do not think that we are all radical, seek regressive policies, and want to infiltrate and change your way of life; however, it is indeed unfortunate that many of my colleagues (the majority, in all honesty) seem to take that approach.

allencrider I wonder if you bothered to read through it or any other sources. We have conducted trials on animals that were fed such amounts of glyphosate that they would also be poisoned if it was NaCl. And it turned out to be about as poisonous as salt and not carcinogenic. The WHO study is an overview of some epidemiological studies on some farmers and invitro which had mixed results (different cancer in each) and aren't the perfect models. Especially if the odds are very small it's easy to manipulate the study/get wrong conclusions. So basically they said "we need to look more into that". They don't say "it's carcinogenic". And you fail to mention that for decades EPA and EFSA consider glyphosate as a safe herbicide. Why don't you greens go and wage war against herbicides, because let's face it, you do it because of your hate for GMO.

"It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.

This is a uniquely 1st world thing. Here we eat Soy we don't feed it to farm animals. If you had a more nutritious form of rice there is no reason not to have it. It shows a supreme form of ignorance to think that somehow a starved population would rather feed their farm animals rather than themselves.

"America first" this also should mean "all Americans take initiative" like they did back then. take the jobs otherwise held by immigrants who are taken here just to work before they are filled no matter the conditions of said jobs. get the job then get the government to check for wrong doings. back in the great depression the Americans took pride in their work as co-creators of this democracy. a job would be the greatest Christmas gift and direct cash aid given would be given back in pride after recovery. today, we take their sacrifices for granted and we lose sense of ourselves, balance hard work with smart work. as both are necessary. today we have too much of the other but back in the Guilded Age (we can thank mark twain for naming it for us) people worked too hard. with no smarts they couldn't check leadership for bad apples thus the whole orchard became bad apples and the government farmer just sat back and watched the mutation and did not know better. brain and braun in balance or sophistication within allocations of the free peoples whom still adopt the extremes of brain or muscle. essentially good team work in the right places. to balance the polarization and breaking of rules and law. and for that we need all the views in the land to come together and chart the best map of the battlefield to plan the greatest offensive against the worse of enemies, the problems that bog all efforts down. my say on that matter, the party system. if there were no parties then there would only be people to serve on duty in the lands that make law. government may of been called evil but it is the man at the hilt that can make the devil's steel sword truly wicked. i request this wisdom taken on my behalf so that we may find our sun again to revolve around as a once again united solar system or house of planets. "a house divided against itself cannot stand" Abraham Lincoln said this. the house, or the union or the US divided by party VS Party against itself or against unity cannot stand through the real trials of the times. ensure the greatest of compromises and sympathies be given next time one is on the table of politics that we all act as professional citizens and as role models. that anger is never an answer as much as they say violence is. but instead understanding is. that decisions can be repealed as they much as they can be enacted and thus can be used like maneuvers for a vehicle to keep clear of the hazards that cause these terrible decisions (meant to also not single anyone out) to be made. so are we ready to do that barrel role now for the sake of democracy and not the oligarchs in the parties and Cooperate (big business) towers? (sounds odd i know but, we must follow the commands of the people, not the oligarchs who lead the party direction as they are easily as much as a source of the problem as our division is.).

Germany was pinned because they had the best industry in the world and frankly were the best weapon makers the world had to offer at the time. after WW2 they wanted to convert Germany to a farming nation because, during the war, they invented the ICBM (via V-2 rocket), German notes got tested in the Ivy mike prototype so they were literal hard water shipments away from inventing the nuke 4 years before the Americans (Germans started atomic weapons research in 1937, project Manhattan started in 41 when the US entered the war because Einstein told them what the Germans were doing) did, they invented the Assault rifle with the MP-43 (it outclassed the Browning Assault Rifle because the BAR was not really an assault rifle but a quick put together of a WW1 Light machine gun didn't start completely from scratch like the germans did the the SturmGhewer (literally German for "assault rifle" hitler gave it that name out of how impressed he was with it.)). that became the inspiration for the AK-47. they in WW1 invented fighter planes, bombers, War submarines (U-boats) trains with artillery (Kubelwagens) mechanized infantry, very formidable tanks especially the tiger tank. had the best camouflage out of any faction in the war, had the best AA guns and even the fastest artillery guns as well as the best trained soldiers in the war that could give the marines a run for their money. the helmets we see today they covered the back of head and neck was from the German Stalhelm. we took that from them, even their basic rifles were better than ours. several gun companies took Luger's, mauser's, and Kurtz's and made their best guns with in. such as the Springfield rifle, the infamous trench gun, and even some elements in the M1 Garand. the Germans had the best Machine guns and had the first hand held machine gun with the MG-34 but because it was too expensive they made MG-42s that were heavier. not to mention the best bunkers. the worse thing about them were their Nazi ideology and their tactics were terrible. but they will were good fighters. Italy was difficult to take because of German assistance to the Italian black-skirts. the most respected general out of the entire war for the axis was Erwin Rommel, dessert fox. not only was he a good example of what a Sturmtrooper could do (in WW1) he stormed Italy with German forces (back when he was a leftenant) to give relief to the Austrians and when the rest of the Germans retreated. he took 100 of his guys most of them wounded including himself. stormed enemy trenches and took 9000 enemy soldiers prisoner. the Italians were better fighters in WW1 then they were in WW2. and Rommel in WW2 (it was also the next time after WW1 he ever stepped on a battle field, this time as a General) held north Africa, a land area almost twice the size of the European Reich and Held it with less forces for years. it took the dessert resistance who fought like animals to make a dent on the Africakorps. and one reason D-Day was very successful despite casualties was because they trained against Rommel with amphibious landings in Africa to test their gear and they trained a good amount of the greenhorns to be how they were during D-Day along side landing techniques) easily all of this was more than enough reason to fear and want to down grade Germany to a AG country. look at them today in research. they have the most solar power in the world (granted that it was more costly) the Germans are still bent on improving more so, than the cooperation, in the US are and if we forget in the American revolution the person who drilled all the American troops was a German named Friedrich Wilhelm Von Steuben. moral of the story: Debt and rising financial difficulty will cause political havok and bloodshed especially if power is taken by the wrong people on terms of keeping peace. the Russian revolution was because the rise of prices did not match the elevation of income. same for the Great depression. the 2010s are the new roaring 20s and if we let it, we might have another great depression-like event before we have another world war. by the time 2050 comes around. i hope the yellow jacket movement succeeds personally and it doesn't become corrupt in anyway. to get another shoe for the unprotected foot and not put the single shoe on the other foot. as it simply destroys the message of equality downright.

A lot of solutions look great in the short term. Take a look at the plastic water bottle. In its short lifetime of usage, it provides cheap water to millions of people and doesn't cause any harm to the environment. Now take a look at it 100 years later. The plastic pieces have broken up into many pieces and may end up in the guts of various animals. It releases toxins and attracts pollutants. The damage from a single bottle may seem insignificant, but multiply that by the billions over time and it'll be a huge negative impact on our future generations. Everything we make needs to be examined for its long term effect. Long term as in 100s of years, not just a few years. Often we are simply passing the damage to future generations without realizing it.

I suppose this is effective on those poor folks that may have just barely begun to wake up from the lies being feed to them.

Thus entropy isn't really relevant here, if it were even the cause. The mechanism by which it is attracted to or builds up in institutes is the problem, which is not a law or a necessary evil, but something humans are actively doing. tl;dr, your making a case that this is an inevitable law of physics, but it's not. Something is happening very much deliberately, and I think the answer is good old corruption of values.

This is a PragerU video, so I guess I’m not surprised, but the reason GreenPeace is against this specific GMO is because it endeavors to solve one problem (vitamin A deficiency known as VAD for short) without solving any other problems. VAD is just one of many types of issues caused by malnutrition and inadequate food diversity in poor regions of the world. Golden rice may help specific communities with VAD, but it doesn’t help with other nutritional deficiencies so GreenPeace instead propose that the communities adopt an ecological plan of community and home gardening, supported by the same funding that currently goes to the development and deployment of golden rice and other GE crops. Essentially, their argument isn’t that we should take poor communities and keep them alive like cattle by feeding them only the bare minimum necessary for survival (like golden rice), but that we should teach them how to grow and consume foods that will meet their dietary needs based on their local climates and topographies. Alternatively, if we just worked to build a planet that didnt have regions of extreme poverty they would be able to import and consume a variety of foods like Westerners do.
Greenpeace. Green stands for "forcing our will on others" and the peace stands for "forcing our will on others". Doesn't make sense, but rolls much better
He's incorrect in his statement that the US stop testing thermonuclear (hydrogen) bombs. The last thermonuclear test carried out out by the US was in 1992. He may have been referring to high-yield tests. After the Alaskan test (~5Mt tnt), the US and Russia agreed to limit their tests to 150kt.

might have been the last test for a long time at the time they were protesting, thus the feeling of victory.

I think he was just referring to tests in Alaska.
The Danger of GMOs is that private corporations will be able to copyright food. They can produce crops that don't produce viable seeds so you have to buy new seed from them every year instead of being able to resow some of your harvest.
Very important information!
(Sarcastically) Your videos and the truth offend me. I consider both to be considered microaggressions. I think I'll lock myself up in my safe space.

Problem with green peace is they aren't pragmatic, nuclear energy and gmos are not bad. Used responsibly they can help to save us from global warming and save the environment. I cant stand the anti nuclear energy anti gmo stances don't be against those things be pro responsibility pro regulation and pro science.

Emphasis on the phrase "used responsibly". GMOs haven't been used responsibly, so they deserve the bad reputation.

I might replace "regulation" with "oversight." Regulation tends to put people into positions of power, whereby they proceed to continue or expand their power and justify their position by any means available. Usually to the detriment of everyone else. Like a cancer, their own continuance trumps the survival of their host.

are those regulations voluntary or not? i am against enforced regulations,the market can egulate itself,but i agree with everything else in your comment
When i clicked in this video a Greenpeace ad appeared.
Is that suppose to be a iphone or modern video camera in 1975?
I love it how they knew what size to make the banners on the coal conveyor! They must have been scoping the site out quite a bit prior to the protest.
Please do P.E.T.A..

I tried to find something about Greenpeace wanting to ban chlorine but only found one article about chlorine gas being dangerous when isolated (which it like... totally is). There was nothing about banning chlorine as a whole?
WoW, this video was extremely enlightening. Thanks!
I don't like 'em putting chemicals in the water that turn the friggin frogs gay! XD
These days, Green Peace talks about household emissions, while the world talks about nuclear war emissions and the fear of it.
Wait, there is no Chlorine/chloramine in drinking water. The chlorine is in the tap water which is for washing your dishes and clothes and other things. The chlorine/chloramine is in there to protect the pipes to prevent he build-up of biofilms. I don't know if it is an issue in gas form from showers and faucets though.
This is why it is better to have a group that is around for a more specific goal. Better to have more, smaller, targeted groups rather than a big catch-all one. Harder to market maybe, but you can be more sure that your goals are aligned with the group.
One of your best videos. Cheers!
Patrick Moore saying that Greenpeace departed from science is like the pot calling the kettle black.
Wow, I used to believe all those things are bad. But now it just got me thinking and question more. Thank you Bjorn and Patrick.

This guy once said in an interview that glyphosate was safe to drink, that you 'could drink a whole quart of it'. When the interviewer gave him a glass of the stuff to drink, he bolted from the interview. Glyphosate is now on a list of probable carcinogens.

i used to work for green peace, as a door to door "sales man" (begging for donations), the training was simple find old people and people who don't understand and make them donate every month, its horrid and i recommend that no one works for them.
